Trailer for "Taste of Cherry"
0 views • Jun 3, 2025
Mr. Badii (Homayoun Ershadi) drives around Tehran in hopes of finding someone willing to burry him after he commits suicide. Shot mostly in or around Badii's Range Rover, the story does not reveal why this seemingly rich man wishes to commit suicide. He has little luck finding an accomplice willing to burry him, suicide is forbidden under Islamic law and this is what puts him in this desperate situation. This effort won director Kiarostami the Palme d'Or at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival. http://www.firouzanfilms.com/TheFirouzanFifty/Movies/TasteOfCherry/index.html
Taste of Cherry
A middle-aged Tehranian man, Mr. Badii is intent on killing himself and seeks someone to bury him after his demise. Driving around the city, the seemingly well-to-do Badii meets with numerous people, including a Muslim student, asking them to take on the job, but initially he has little luck. Eventually, Badii finds a man who is up for the task because he needs the money, but his new associate soon tries to talk him out of committing suicide.
